disappointment

| In this page, your letters regarding my general rolling around in other people misery like a dog in shit are published. |
Some letters relate to the Joey Deacon section, which is worse...
COWARDY COWARDY CUSTARD With respect to the below website: http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/log/joeydeacon/joeyback.htm I wish to register my extreme displeasure and disgust at the content. I trust that your AUP caters for content of a members website which may be deemed derogatory or distasteful. I would therefore request that you review this content and request that the author remove the offending material. I myself am disabled. Whilst there is nothing wrong with laughing at oneself, as one cannot justifiably laugh at others if unable to, this website ridicules rather than laughing *with* the individual. This is totally unacceptable. |
| This email wasn't even sent to me. It was forwarded to me by my ISP. Presumably because I am such a horrific monster that I would email them back saying "ha, ha, spazzy legs". I wouldn't - complain to me directly, please.
A POME FOR JOHN I wander lonely as a cloud, through fair England's gardens green, her chaste and comely presence, plucks a fine melody, upon the tuneful strings of my swollen heart. And yet..... I cannot resist the machinations of my soul, I feel it stirring in my throat, those foul and pestilent words, which cage my very being; the FUCKING BASTARD CUNT WANKS, COME ON YOU TWAT FACED ARSE CUNT, I'LL KICK THE LIVING FUCK FROM YOUR SHITTY BOLLOCKS - CUNT, WANK, FUCK, SHIT, FUCK, SHIT, FUCK. From themofo@ntlworld.com |
I thought I'd write and state my opinion about the offensive website: http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/log/joeydeacon/joeytalk.htm that is hosted on your ISP. I am an American disability services professional and find the content of this site to be counter to the decent attitudes that I try to foster among the public towards people with disabilities. Even though in this country, this would be 'protected' under the Right to Free Speech, that does not make it inoffensive. I am not sure what protections are offered in the United Kingdom, but I understand that your company provided ISP services to schools and thus is exposing children to this disgusting material, if only by close association. Please note my displeasure at this material. |
| Americans! Now that America knows about my site, I genuinely tremble. Now decency and offense will be treated as objective truths, which are to be measured by Service Professionals. Am I the only person whose skin crawled when they read "I understand that your company provided ISP services to schools and thus is exposing children to this disgusting material"? That's beautiful. Once you've run out of emotive words like "disgusting" and "decency", bring the children into it. Any way you can, bring in the children!
I recently came across the following site which is hosted on pipex. http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/log/joeydeacon/joeytalk.htm I quote from your acceptable use policy: 'This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or intellectual property right used without proper authorisation, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws.' Although I can see that this site doesn't not fit into most of your unacceptable uses, I do feel that it is both defamatory to both the memory of Joey Deacon and to all physically disabled people - particularly those with CP. I teach at a primary school and am alarmed that this site could be accessed by children. As a supplier to a large number of schools, surely you appreciate my concerns. [...snip...] I might also add that I have talked online to the author of this site, who implied that anyone who doesnt appreciate the spirit with which it was written - simply lacks a sense of humour. I most certainly don't, believe me you need one to work with five year olds!! However, I don't think I would find anything funny about being an able minded person trapped in a disabled body, if people laughed at me for dribbling. Without doubt - I find this site both offensive and defamatory and I look forward to hearing your comments on the matter. |
